New York, Dec 18 (TIWN) Leo Varadkar has joined the ranks of current Indian descent prime ministers becoming the fourth outside India when he again became the Taoiseach of Ireland.

The Fine Gael party leader assumed the prime ministership at the head of a coalition on Saturday under an agreement with partner Fianna Fail party to swap the leadership in the middle of its term.  The 43-year-old Varadkar had done a stint as prime minister or Taoiseach, as it is formally known in the Gaelic language - from 2017 to 2020.
